The 30-year-old tapped in from close range after Barcelona winger Ferran Torres flashed a ball across goal.

Spain were dominant, enjoying 72% of possession, and Sarabia curled another narrowly wide from the edge of the box.

Victory for Luis Enrique’s side saw them leapfrog Portugal, who were beaten by Switzerland.
